The Farm Studio stands on a 13 acre farm, with two other inhabited properties nearby, in a secluded valley setting by a stream, surrounded by unspoilt countryside. With hill walking from the door, local mountain-biking, hang gliding, paragliding and canoeing nearby, you are also close to the splendid scenery of the Elan Valley.

A lovely cottage and ideal for a peaceful getaway. This is an ideal place to come to, to escape the fast pace of the world. With no TV or internet, it's perfect for detoxing and appreciating a slower way of life! A hidden little gem!

Such a peaceful getaway! All I could hear were the nearby stream, sheep and birds. Large enclosed garden, perfect for my dog. Studio was clean and cosy. Beautiful scenery, lovely walks. A great place to chill.

Beautiful little barn. Outstanding area of beauty. Thoroughly enjoyed our week, total peace and quiet it was heaven. No TV and only a poor mobile phone signal outside in the garden area which we loved as we wanted off grid time. The drive down to the barn was a little precarious in the road surface. Fortunately we have an SUV which managed the lanRead moree. Low slung vehicles would have difficulty with the raised grassy centre of the lane. We have every intention of returning. Hide

Absolutely fantastic for a completely off grid break in the most scenic environment. Away from the hussle and bustle of life the only sounds of birds, chickens and sheep fill the air. Our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of a large enclosed garden. Can't wait to return..

Idyllic spot. The only sounds were birdsong and the baaing of sheep. The studio was cosy and warm. Well-equipped and spacious. A perfect place to relax.

Lovely remote location and ideal for anyone who wants to get away from it all. Beware there are free range chickens with full access to the 'private gardens' meaning you may need to supervise your dog and keep it on a lead at all times. I have a small car and could get down the track to the cottage with no problems, it's a great peaceful getaway.

The cottage was nice but the worry of further damage and cost to our car when coming in and out of the property meant we could relax so ended up returning home the day after arriving. We paid for bed linen and had to hunt for it to make the bed up and discovered that no bottom sheet had been provided so we had to sleep on top of the quilt. The duveRead moret set was washed out and well worn. Hide

This property is amazing but if you cannot be without WIFI or TV this is not for you. I was slightly apprehensive regarding the lack of IT but to be quite honest didn't miss it one little bit and even though I took a DVD playing laptop in case we needed it, it stayed in the car. The cockerel is an impressive chicken and due to the fact we used to hRead moreave chickens his wake up call was a welcome feature. Opening the curtains to the bird life was wonderful.

The accommodation was well presented and prefect if you want a break from all things Internet related. You won't be sleeping in as there is an on site Cockerell alarm clock. The views in the surrounding area are stunning.
